Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in developing countries, with a focus on a specific case study. The objective is to analyze the relationship between FDI inflows and economic growth in the context of developing nations. The study begins with an exploration of the theoretical background of FDI and economic growth, highlighting the potential benefits and challenges associated with foreign investments. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review to identify existing theories, models, and empirical studies on the subject. The study also incorporates quantitative analysis using relevant data and statistical tools to examine the relationship between FDI and economic growth indicators in the selected case study. The findings of the study reveal the complex nature of the relationship between FDI and economic growth in developing countries. While FDI inflows can stimulate economic growth through capital accumulation, technology transfer, and market access, various factors such as institutional quality, infrastructure development, and macroeconomic stability can influence the effectiveness of FDI in promoting sustainable growth. Moreover, the analysis highlights the importance of policy frameworks and regulatory environments in attracting and maximizing the benefits of FDI for economic development. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders to enhance the positive impact of FDI on economic growth in developing countries. Overall, this research contributes to the existing literature on FDI and economic growth by providing valuable insights into the specific case study context and offering practical recommendations for promoting sustainable development through foreign investments.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth in Developing Countries: A Case Study" aims to investigate the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in developing countries. Foreign direct investment plays a crucial role in the economic development of nations, especially in developing countries where it is often seen as a key driver of growth and development. The overview of this research project will delve into the importance of FDI in stimulating economic growth in developing countries, exploring the various channels through which FDI can impact the economy. The study will focus on how FDI affects key economic indicators such as GDP growth, employment levels, technological advancement, and overall economic productivity. Through a detailed case study approach, the research will analyze the specific impact of FDI on a selected developing country, examining the trends in FDI inflows, their distribution across sectors, and the resulting effects on economic growth indicators. By exploring both the positive and negative impacts of FDI, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics between FDI and economic growth in developing countries. Furthermore, the research overview will discuss the methodology that will be employed to gather and analyze data, including the use of econometric models to assess the causal relationship between FDI and economic growth. By utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, the study seeks to provide a robust analysis of the subject matter and draw meaningful conclusions that can inform policy recommendations and future research directions in the field of international economics. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the relationship between FDI and economic growth in developing countries, shedding light on the mechanisms through which FDI influences economic outcomes and providing valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders involved in shaping economic development strategies in developing nations.
